Postflaviana covers a wide fabric of material whose purpose is to provide a broader and hopefully clearer understanding of Western civilization. Our ultimate goal is to gain a better understanding of the topical events happening around us, as well as some better insight into the direction for the global future. A key part of our new paradigm is a re-evaluation of the three Abrahamic faiths: Christianity, Judaism and Islam; that is, the "Peoples of the Book".

In the opening years of the 21st century, there is a growing sense that we are looking forward into an abyss, as environmental, economic and military catastrophes multiply and feed on one another. How has the human race gotten into such a predicament? Our thesis is that the wealthiest and most powerful elements of society rely on carefully honed principles of psychological manipulation (that is, psychological warfare) to maintain their power.

New Testament

The Flavian Caesars, Vespasian and Titus, invented Christianity, more or less in the form we know it today. Remarkably, the emperors left behind a veiled confession (or boast) of their work, embedded in the Gospels and the works of Josephus. The religion was invented as wartime propaganda, but has been successful beyond the Romans’ wildest dreams.

Is the popular CW telenovela series "Jane the Virgin" based on inside knowledge of Jesus's true paternity? That is, was Josephus really the son of Arrius Calpurnius Piso and Arria Calpurnia, the 'virgin' bride of the Roman emperor Caligula? And, was Josephus's life one of the significant typological sources for the fictional character of Biblical Jesus?

Old Testament

While some Gentiles say that Jews are the source of all evil, some modern day Jews say that they have been, and still are, made scapegoats for the evils of ‘others’. We find this ironic because we assert that this was indeed the assigned role of the Jewish people from day one of their troubled existence. The role was created by the Persian clerical redactors of the Old Testament, and likely building upon the prior efforts of the Egyptians before them.

The Bible describes an ancient, remarkably dysfunctional family, chosen and 'eternally blessed' by God to rule over their promised land. We are still dealing with the outcome over 3,000 years later. Indeed, the most important difference is that Abraham's veiled heirs, those ruling in the name of all the 'Abrahamic' religions, occupy a much larger amount of global real estate and other assets now.

What better way to make people hate you, than to start out with the biblically inspired premise that ... uhm ... everyone hates you? This self-fulfilling prophecy is the black hole of the perverse and cynical nature of the Abrahamic divine plan and the false dialectic that we proposed. And imagine having to go through life with this heavy and cynical artificial chip yoked onto your shoulders. This was Isaac's "birthright".

Kit Knightly challenges Mark Rice-Oxley of The Guardian, regarding his thesis that the Anglo-Americans need to push for regime change in Russia. https://off-guardian.org/2018/03/09...an-restarts-push-for-regime-change-in-russia/ The alleged poisoning of ex-MI6 agent Sergei Skripal has caused the Russophobic MSM to go into overdrive. Nowhere is the desperation with which the Skripal case has been seized more obvious than […]

The Third World jumps ahead. Hopefully this will succeed over the present hackability of computerized voting systems in 'advanced' countries. The citizens of Sierra Leone went to the polls on March 7 but this time something was different: the country recorded votes at 70% of the polling to the blockchain using a technology that is […]

In the decades after WWII it was common to speculate on just how such a proudly civilized country such as Germany, back then even an historically relative paradise for Europe's Jews, could turn so suddenly into such a dark venture. It turns out that it was rather easy, and we are witnessing a replay of […]

The following excerpts are from a Rolling Stone piece by a man who failed at being saved by Graham's Crusade. I have discussed elsewhere on the forum about the transformative nature of Billy Graham on America's evangelical movement, almost single-handedly converting it from shunning worldly politics to embracing it. Of course, this was all very […]

http://www.caseyresearch.com/cs/project-fedcoin-presentation-google-cs I happened across the above presentation, an interview with Doug Casey about his theory that the Fed will logically adopt their own version of Bitcoin. This using the latter's underlying 'blockchain' encrypted transaction database and likely some form of human 'embedded' silicon wallet. He proposes that this will be done in parallel with the […]

My contextual comments further below. History is filled with surprising stories of how people and ideas are connected. One such story is that of the origins of the most popular board game in modern history. It's an American classic: each new generation of Monopoly players learns to love (harmlessly) indulging its cutthroat, ruthless, greedy impulses. […]

Consistent with my assertion (in a work-in-progress blog post) of cyclic waves of expansionary colonizations and consolidations in millennial and sub millennial periods, The Expanse novels and TV series operates on the logical extension of this premise. Like the prior historical cycles, it merely scales everything up each cycle. In this case, the narrative takes […]

The following excerpt is the conclusion of an interview in The Atlantic, by David Frum with Yascha Mounk on the contours of the sad state of modern democratic republics, under attack by the rise of authoritarian Populism. The interview opens by discussing the rising trend of authoritarian acceptance among all age cohorts, due to frustrations […]

End Times Prophecy

Global marker events foretold in the book of Revelation, are now occurring like falling dominoes, correctly starting in 2001. Revelation even provides some details that describe a select group of individuals that direct the global play, by virtue of their unique and secretive understanding.

We use the Trump vs. Hillary reality show as an entrée 'door of perception' to examine the dark Romantic underbelly of racism in Western and American culture. It's all part of the larger tableau of Western society, with its central false dialectic cynically built upon the trope of anti-Judaism.

In the complex of events that transpired on 9/11/2001, I have discovered certain rather impressive, sequentially correct, parallel astronomical correlations, or rather 'signatures of human authorship' in my opinion, somewhat hidden in the plain sight of free computer software.

With the movie Jupiter Ascending, we are treated to a futuristic science fiction thriller by the Wachowskis. The obliviously self-important and arrogant Abrasax siblings seem to be a personification of whatever is wrong with our corporate industrial civilization. One can only rejoice at their comeuppance at the hands of the charming and humble Jupiter Jones and her friends of the intergalactic police.

A frequent metaphoric trope underlying Christianity is that of the Good Shepherd, tending with loving care to his flock, bringing them back into the fold, and into his forgiving good graces. We must agree with the Church, that it is necessary to forgive these needy sheep. But, the real Sin is that via the blind acceptance of faith, they remain blissfully ignorant of the craven actions of the shepherds.

The political terms “Left” and “Right” were first coined during the French Revolution, when they represented a stark binary simplicity: the supporters of the King seated on the Right, and their opponents, the revolutionaries, seated ironically on the … uhmm Republican … Left. This was remarkably similar to our Postflavian view: that the most fundamental political and economic struggle is that of the common people against the elite. Since 1789, we have seen a long struggle to obfuscate this simple class-based analysis, using whatever means necessary.
